In case this helps anyone, finally used the Challan serial number from the bank payment receipt (receipt that comes after payment is made via Form 26QB for 1 % TDS deduction for property purchase) to register with traces website (this is Option 2)

Hello Deepak, i have paid the challan through online. and i have recieved the challan Sr No as well, but when i cam trying to use option 2. it is saying invalid details, please enter correct details. Not sure what to do now

I am not able to register with TRACES, despite several attempts – I can’t figure out where I am going wrong. I choose Option 1 and enter the TAN of Deductor, Type of Deduction (TDS- Non Salary, the deductor is a bank), month and amount correctly chosen from the Form 16A received from the bank. Any help please?

I was trying to register for TRACES access, on the 4th step i am getting error message such as “system has enountered some techical problem. Please try after some time” I have repeated it several times and getting same error. Can you help?

while registering new user as tax payer in TRACES, it asks for request id in option 3. Where can i get request id?
I could not enter the challan no also in option 2 as the challan no displayed in acknowledgment for online payment is 280.

My TDS amount was Rs.10200.25 but Net Banking did not take .25 paise, so I sent only 10200. Will it cause a problem? I am asking because my TDS registration failed after multiple attempts. Not sure why. I tried Option 2. AY 2017-18, Challan number and amount.

Many of above have requested you to inform about request id in option 3 but no answer is given. I have same problem. Pls tell us what has to be filled in the column of correction id/request id in option 3 of the traces under Register as New User in Taxpayer.

the challan generated after submission of payment to the bank has cahllan number of 4 digits only while submitting it for TDS on property but what is asked is of 5 digits .can any one help me .
Also in option 3 what is correction id

If you have paid tax through online (26QB)and trying to generate certificate (Form 16 B), then select option 2. The challan number will be in the PDF that gets generated when you paid online.. If the challan number is only 4 digits , then add a 0 as first digit as the second option accepts only 5 digits as challan number.. Then “create of new account” will work fine.. After login , go and place a request for form 16b and it will come within 15 mins in “download” section.. The password f0r that form will be the date of birth in ddmmyyyy format.. Good luck for the new property 🙂

But I have filled online property tax and I do not have challan No for registering for TRACES for getting form 16B. Only I have is bank ref no. How can I fill second option ie challan No. Is there any way to detect it??????

You can get the challan number if you login to your bank account (from where you made the payment), select Tax center and eTax challans (these are steps with ICICI bank). Then in the traces website you select option 2 to register a new account. This was confirmed by Traces helpdesk. Hope this helps.

Correction id/ request id doesn’t hold good while registering as a new user for Form 26QB. It is usually used by tax payers/ deductors rather existing users for downloading already uploaded documents or for correcting such documents.

Only option available to register for Form 26QB/ 16B is option 2 and this option works only when Challan 280 i.e. tax payment challan is validated by the concerned authority. Validation may happen anytime within 7 days from the date of payment.

It is very simple. First make new payment of Rs 1 under PAN number to be registered on TRACES. Then wait for 3-4 days & then register on TRACES using option 2 by entering details of new challan. Hope it helps!

Use the option2 for registering and login into your bank from which u have paid the TDS amount. Go to E-tax and reprint challan and provide ur transaction dates and check u can view the details complelty about ur Challan number and BSR code etc. using that u can register Traces and after only u get confirmation of the activation, your login will work. once u login with ur username and password u can download the Form 16B.

I too struggled a lot and it looks like I have made some progress here. Sharing it here for all.
The TDS you paid needs to be processed by the IT department and that takes longer than 7-10 days. I found this after calling Traces helpdesk on landline 01204814600.
Tip : Choose Hindi option to reach the adviser quickly.
The adviser asked me to log onto my bank’s netbanking site and check Form 26AS. If the TDS paid reflects there then it means the TDS has been processed and you can go ahead and register on TRACES. TRACES does not recognize your payment until then. My bankers are HDFC so following are the steps to view 26AS using HDFC site.

1. Log on to HDFC netbanking. In the left pane, under Enquire, choose View Credit Statements,
Click continue
2. Type the Captcha and continue
3. In resulting window check the I agree box and Proceed
4. Click on View Tax Credit (Form 26AS)…look for the URL within page
5. Choose correct Assessment year, View as HTML
6. The page will refresh
7. Scroll down to “PART A2” and see if the TDA you paid reflects there. If it’s processed then it will show up here. If not wait for a few days and then check again. Once it shows here then you can go and register on Traces website. Until then Traces will not recognize the challan details.

IF I REGISTER AS DEDUCTOR IN TRACES WITHOUT ANY PRIOR RETURN SUBMISSION, WHERE FROM I CAN GET THE TOKEN NUMBER OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR TO FURNISH WHILE REGISTRATION, AND WITHOUT TOKEN NO REGISTRATION PROCESS IS INCOMPLETE… ANY ONE PLEASE COMMENT AND HELP.
